How to Prepare Sirloin Tip Steaks

Before eating out at a restaurant, consider preparing lean sirloin-tip steaks at home. Sirloin steak is inexpensive and used in a variety of dishes, such as stews and stir-fry. When buying sirloin steak, ensure that it is a bright red hue. It is best to store the steak in your refrigerator for only three or four days. If you choose to store the steak for several months, then securely wrap it in aluminum foil and place it in your freezer.
